I did a similar thing for TRW when I worked for them but it was not ported to FreeBSD.... actually it was, internally but it never made it out. We never used contigmalloc, but instead, because it was a special purpose machine, we preallocated a separate memory pool for huge buffers. This is not a general solution. I've had my fingers in a lot of places, but not that particular place :-) -- __--_|\ Julian Elischer / \ julian@elischer.org ( OZ ) World tour 2000 ---> X_.---._/ presently in: Perth v To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
